Tate Liverpool

Tate Liverpool

I visited Tate Liverpool in the Albert Dock to gather some inspiration and primary pictures to put in the sketch book, here's what I found:

 This is a sculpture that was displayed in Tate, it is made from black painted wire. This will inspire me when designing my pieces as I think that it links well with my themes, 'caged construction' and 'contoured lines'.

 This is oil paint on canvas by Franz Kline (1960-1), I thought that this piece could inspire me if I wanted to create my own print, and I think that this pattern would look great on a pair of running leggings or a top.

 This is another sculpture and this time it was made out of black felt, which I think would be an interesting fabric to use that could feature in my collection. I was thinking that a felt jacket with origami-like patterns were embedded into the fabric to give it a futuristic and caged contoured look.

This is an image of a mirrored piece that looks 3D. It can be an optical illusion, because some people may see cubes and others may see diamond shapes. I think this is interesting, and would be good if I could develop it into some sort of print and have the print feature on a garment, for example a side panel on a pair of leggings, or a long sleeve running top.

These are the staircase in the Liverpool museum in the Albert Dock. I find the spirals of the stairs reflect the contoured lines theme and I would like to be able to use this as inspiration and develop it into something that would feature in my designs.
